- I'm not much of a PC person, so I have some questions about video controllers.
- My new system has a builtin "Extended VGA" video controller on the
- motherboard. The manual says its an Oak videa controller. Is this the same
- thing as "Super" VGA, and if not, what's the difference? Since the controller
- is builtin, is it possible to buy a replacement controller and bypass the
- builtin one?
-
- Thanks for any replies. Please email responses since everyone else probably
- already knows this. :)
